Does anyone know the answer to the Antabuse alcoholism question? Don't remember the question exactly.
It was one trial learning - taste aversion

Oh good, a friend was freaking me out by saying it was classical conditioning - extinction. Something to do with aversion therapy being classical conditioning or something. So far full marks for MC as well, although I'm pretty sure I messed up quite a bit in SA =/

Well done littlebecc. I had faith in you all along.

I got 43/44 for MC. Bloody hell, stupid decay question. I KNEW D was wrong. I just didn't think about them asking for something that DOESN'T decay. Should have read it more carefully. Oh well. Just have to wait till dec 13th to see how good/bad I did in short answer...

Question 1 of the short answer?
Are you referring to part d which states:
Is it possible for Dr Sewell to conclude from this study that old age effects memory? Explain your answer. (2 marks)


could you have said because no t-test was performed therefore no conclusion can be made?

Aww thanks, so sweet. Believe me, without your help in research methods I still wouldn't know what an IV or DV is! hahaha
But lol, i haven't even looked at multi choice answers, where are they?
I'm just going off this thread and seeing the correct answers, so far haven't gotten any wrong
Aw shut up 1 wrong! Hahah that's awesome as dude.

I think people who say this exam was SOOOO easy are forgetting about past years.

Before 2010 half of the MC didn't even have a case study so they were WAYYYYYYY easier. i.e. pure recall questions like "what is the most sensitive measure of retention?"

I'm expecting the cut off to be around 11 marks. Maybe 12... I bit higher than the mid year though..

I love how the examiners decided to become creative in 2010. thanks a LOT guys :|
